Dreamworld reopening - the summer season
Tim Dasco replied to wipeout94's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think its because they want the public to slowly feel safer with their rides again. By starting with opening the smaller and simpler rides and then as the publics trust starts to return reopening the bigger thrill rides as time goes on. -
Goliath - Adventure World’s new Intamin Gyro Swing
Tim Dasco replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thanks Mark, so I think it's clear it will be a flat ride as they will only have a few months to get it ready for opening. -
@YLFATEEKS do you have a link to were it says this?

^ Plus that version wins the award of the most thought out colour Shem. I feel like WNW Sydney asked if they got any random colours if they got a discount. -

@YLFATEEKS it's actually run by the giga council and they have a hyper coaster division which they laugh at for not making the giga record. But the chairman is apart of the Strata division but he is worried the polar division will take over his job. But of course the council is owned by Disney. ???? I think they are talking about the height of the drop being over 200 feet meaning it might go 2 meters underground. -

I believe Intiman have 2 roller coaster next year. 1 in Europe and the jet rescue clone at an American SW. RMC also have their Mean Streak project. However I believe we are seeing companies using this year to save up for another Major coaster next year. (2018) as 2016 was a big year and they might be trying to save money this year. (However next year will be a big year for Europe theme parks as there are some big coasters going over there. In particularly the Intamin v Vekoma project. -

I think there is a phase were everyone wants to get a coaster from a certain company. Arrow phase, Intiamin phase, B&M phase, RMC phase and now Mack. -

So that's just under 60 meters for those who prefer meters over feet. At 196.8ft means it's just under being a hyper coaster. Hyper coaster is 200-300 feet tall. (60-90 meters) -

I have a drone but the range won't reach MW from Perth. - plus it's private property and it's illegal. -
Super 8 Aqua Racer at Wet N Wild GC

Most of the parts of their website say that the page will be updated. This has been going on for years. It has nothing to do with changing design more updating the website. -
Super 8 Aqua Racer at Wet N Wild GC
Tim Dasco replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I would say most likely Australian water and leisure as they made the original and if it's going to be the same I am going to assume it's them. However it could still be pro-slides or White water west. -
As that area is all family rides and if they need to replace it with at least 1 family ride. However DW do have 2 good family roller coasters. (MDMC and Escape from Madagascar) Yes I know I said MDMC is a good family ride. So they defiantly need a family ride to be brought in. However if they were to build a Eurofighter or @Gazza's plan that would be AWsome. As long as they then put a family ride in around BL area to make up for the TRR. Remember a few months ago the CEO of DW was at AW. So maybe a Eurofighter is a possibility.

There is one directly under Valravn. (One of Valravn's records was first roller coaster to go over a gate 3 times.) Its called the Marina gate. See image below. and while we are talking about Valravn lets take a look at these construction pictures taken by drone last year. So pretty!!! -

However then they spend this money now and not afterwards. MW will need to reinvest in a couple of years after this Hyper to encourage season pass members to renew and to get people to return to the park. Parks like to spread out their investments. Hence why DD opened last year and this roller coaster will open 2017/2018. Instead of them opening at the same time. -

Just going to say. MW are spending big $$$$ on a Hyper coaster. Do you honestly think they are going to want to spend even more money on another roller coaster straight after? I do agree with a family coaster but I believe MW's next major roller coaster will be a family one. -

Tim Dasco replied to JaggedJanine's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I have seen a comment on DW's Facebook page saying rides over 10 years old should be removed. Their reason was because cars only last 10 years or less and rides are more ocmplex. I did try and explain that rides have an average life recomandation from the manufacter of 30 years depending on maintenance. -
100 feet is roughly 30 meters. So 300 feet is 90 meters.
